British Petroleum in the UK dates back to the 1960s and they consider themselves to be key leaders in helping the environment. BP are also the UK's largest trader of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
On the motorway, BP is very common and can be found at a variety of services across the network. They own the main lease at Burton-in-Kendal, Killington Lake and South Mimms, leasing the rest of each site to the operator.

The brand 'BP Truckstops' was launched to promise "a new standard for truck drivers". It consisted of sites such as Barton Park and Alconbury, and later became Nightowl.
